Results obtained using 99mTc HIDA in the follow-up of 17 patients who underwent hepaticojejunal bypass for different indications are examined. Results are also compared to other commonly used procedures such as echography and cholangiography (I.V. or PTC). Preliminary results appear to confirm that cholescintigraphy is an accurate procedure which allows an anterograde and physiologic visualization of the anastomosis.

At the moment we still lack a clear correlation of clinical staging and pathology with therapy and prognosis in breast cancer patients. More studies need to be conducted dealing with the relationships of breast cancer to previous diseases, hormonal balance, conservative therapy and type of surgical therapy.These evaluations may be very important in supporting a less serious prognosis, a clearer clinical staging and a more certain choice of the right therapy. With computer help we have evaluated data from 500 patients with breast cancer.We have considered: age; previous breast diseases with particular regard to therapy; hormonal balance; obstetrical relevant past history; morphological and functional aspects of the breast; the histology of the tumour and metastases; and the results of therapy.Pour les cancers du sein, on ne dispose pas, actuellement, d'elements de correlation nets entre la situation clinique et l'anatomo-pathologie d'une part, et d'autre part, le traitement et le pronostic.Des etudes compl...

Eighty-six patients operated for stenosis caused by previous iatrogenic lesions of main bile duct over a 13-year period are reported. The incidence of operative lesions of main bile duct is 0.2 to 0.7% and a number of them are caused by surgery on the biliary tract (90%-95%), gastric resection or portacaval shunt. Sixty-five cases were treated by hepaticojejunostomy, 3 by hepaticojejunoduodenostomy and the remaining 18 patients underwent choledochoduodenostomy. Postoperative complications and long term results are also examined.
